Reaction to Last Night's State of the Union

| Posted in Blog

I need to point this out, because it was completely ignored in the mainstream media’s analysis after the State of the Union address last night. Forget the slurred speech, forget the missing words, forget the awkward reactions when Republicans jeered at his blatant lies. Forget all that. My biggest takeaway from last night was Biden’s desire for TRILLIONS of dollars’ worth of new…

Tonight's State of the Union Address

| Posted in Blog

I’m not expecting much from the State of the Union address tonight. We’ll hear a lot of platitudes and cherry-picked statistics, but nothing meaningful in terms of policy or vision. If you’re inclined to tune in to President Biden’s remarks tonight, I’d invite you to keep these facts in the back of your mind: ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION: 4.5 million people have illegally crossed our southern…

Alarming Chinese Surveillance

| Posted in Blog

News about this Chinese surveillance balloon currently hovering over the continental United States is yet ANOTHER alarming development from the communist regime. China is claiming it's a benign balloon intended for scientific research, which just happened to float over into our airspace. The problem is that very little that government claims can be trusted. And the time for China to…

Tags: Pro-Life

The reality is we have no idea how many abortions are actually performed each year in this country. States are asked to provide these numbers to the federal government, but they are not required to do so. Which allows states like California and Maryland to intentionally withhold this data. Meanwhile, these states have no problem using federal tax dollars for family planning services.…

School Choice in South Carolina

School Choice

Yes! I’m so proud of the South Carolina State Legislature for working on SCHOOL CHOICE. This is an issue I’ve been promoting in Congress, but the heavy lifting ultimately needs to happen on the state level. *** I believe important tweaks are needed to South Carolina’s efforts — more on that below — but first a little background: Many of you know I’m very disheartened with our nation’s…

Regarding Ozempic

| Posted in Blog

My office has received a fair number of calls and emails lately about the lack of availability of a prescription drug known as Ozempic. This is an important injection for many people with type 2 diabetes. According to the manufacturer, its purpose is to “improve blood sugar” and “reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death in adults with type 2…

118th Committee Assignments

| Posted in Blog

This was a little surprising, frankly, but it will be a good thing. On Monday, I was appointed to serve on the House Rules Committee by Speaker Kevin McCarthy. As a general statement, the Rules Committee ultimately decides which bills or amendments are brought before the House for consideration. In other words, this committee has a tremendous amount of power (and responsibility). If you…
